Bye-law No. 14, in Schedule D of The Cattle Diseases, Slaughter-Houses, and Markets Ordinance, 1887, is hereby repealed by the Governor in Council, and the following Bye-law, made by the Governor in Council under section 27 of the said Ordinance, (No. 17 of 1887), is hereby substituted for such repealed Bye-law:--

Substituted Bye-law 14.--No flesh meat, (salted and tinned meats excepted), other than that which has been slaughtered in the Colonial slaughter-houses maintained and regulated under the provisions of Ordinance 17 of 1887, shall be exposed for sale in any of the markets of the Colony.

The Sanitary Board may, however, from time to time, grant permission in writing, revocable at the discretion of the Board, to any person being a holder of a shop or stall in any public market, to expose for sale in such shop or stall, fresh flesh meat which has been imported from Shanghai, Japan, Canada or Australia or from such other localities as the Board may from time to time approve, such permission shall state the name of the person to whom it is granted, the class or description of meat permitted, and the shop or stall on which such meat is to be exposed for sale.

It is further provided that the holder of a shop or stall to whom such permission has been granted, shall cause a board to be posted on the shop or stall, in a conspicuous posi- tion, stating in English and Chinese that he deals in imported meat, and he shall also make a true return to the Board every month of the quantity of meat imported by him specifying from what place.
